Hey, psa, friends: If you don’t need distilled water, please don’t buy it. It does not taste good and people need it for medical purposes.

Distilled water is hypotonic to red blood cells... definitely not safe to drink regularly and especially not without food or something else
Regular water is also hypotonic to red blood cells (and everything else), which is why isotonic sports drinks are a thing, and why you can die of water intoxication if you literally drink many liters and liters of water in a few hours. Distilling it doesn't make it any worse.

By the way, using words like "hypotonic" without explanation, and misleadingly implying it's something regular water isn't (which it is), is how fake/misleading science news is made. Please don't misinform people like that.

People reading your tweet are going to get "distilled water is bad for red blood cells" out of it, which is true in the sense that you shouldn't inject distilled water into someone, and conclude "so it's bad for you" and "regular water isn't", which aren't true.
